Tinyproxy is a lightweight HTTP/HTTPS proxy server designed to be efficient and usable on embedded systems or low-end boxes. In this tutorial, we will walk through the installation process of Tinyproxy on Clear Linux Latest.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
To start installation of Tinyproxy, we need to open the Terminal on Clear Linux.
To open the Terminal, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Alt + T or click on the Terminal icon located on the desktop or in the Applications menu.
Before installing any new packages, we need to update the package manager.
To update the package manager, run the following command in the Terminal:
sudo swupd update
This command will update the Clear Linux package manager and download the latest package information.
Now that the package manager is updated, we can install Tinyproxy.
To install Tinyproxy, run the following command in the Terminal:
sudo swupd bundle-add tinyproxy
This command will install Tinyproxy and its dependencies on your system.
After installing Tinyproxy, we need to configure it to meet our needs.
The Tinyproxy configuration file is located at /etc/tinyproxy/tinyproxy.conf. You can edit this file using your preferred text editor.
For example, to allow access from all IP addresses, edit the configuration file as follows:
# Allow access from all IP addresses
Allow 0.0.0.0/0
You can also change the port number that Tinyproxy listens on by changing the Port option.
Make sure to save your changes and exit the text editor.
Now that Tinyproxy is installed and configured, we can start the service.
To start Tinyproxy, run the following command in the Terminal:
sudo systemctl start tinyproxy.service
This command will start the Tinyproxy service.
To verify that Tinyproxy is running and accepting connections, use the netstat command:
sudo netstat -plntu | grep tinyproxy
This command should output something like the following:
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:8888 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1234/tinyproxy
This output confirms that Tinyproxy is running and listening on port 8888.
In this tutorial, we have walked through the installation process of Tinyproxy on Clear Linux Latest. Installation of Tinyproxy on Clear Linux Latest is straightforward and can be completed in a few simple steps.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
